The Impact of Configuring Agentic AI Coding Tools on Build-vs-Buy Decisions: A Study Protocol
Jai Lal Lulla, Matthias Galster, Jie M. Zhang +2
Agentic AI coding tools write code with increasing autonomy and in doing so decide when to import a library and when to implement functionality from scratch. These decisions, wheth…
A Dataset of Agentic AI Coding Tool Configurations
Matthias Galster, Seyedmoein Mohsenimofidi, Levi Böhme +4
Agentic AI coding tools such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex execute multi-step coding tasks with limited human oversight. To steer these tools, developers create repository-level…
User Misconceptions of LLM-Based Conversational Programming Assistants
Gabrielle O'Brien, Antonio Pedro Santos Alves, Sebastian Baltes +3
Programming assistants powered by large language models (LLMs) have become widely available, with conversational assistants such as ChatGPT particularly accessible to novice progra…
Guidelines for Empirical Studies in Software Engineering involving Large Language Models
Sebastian Baltes, Florian Angermeir, Chetan Arora +19
Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used in software engineering (SE) research and practice, yet their non-determinism, opaque training data, and rapidly evolving models threat…
The Silent Scientist: When Software Research Fails to Reach Its Audience
Marvin Wyrich, Christof Tinnes, Sebastian Baltes +1
If software research were a performance, it would be a thoughtful theater play -- full of rich content but confined to the traditional stage of academic publishing. Meanwhile, its…
Not real or too soft? On the challenges of publishing interdisciplinary software engineering research
Sonja M. Hyrynsalmi, Grischa Liebel, Ronnie de Souza Santos +1
The discipline of software engineering (SE) combines social and technological dimensions. It is an interdisciplinary research field. However, interdisciplinary research submitted t…
Towards Evaluation Guidelines for Empirical Studies involving LLMs
Stefan Wagner, Marvin Muñoz Barón, Davide Falessi +1
In the short period since the release of ChatGPT, large language models (LLMs) have changed the software engineering research landscape. While there are numerous opportunities to u…
Teaching Literature Reviewing for Software Engineering Research
Sebastian Baltes, Paul Ralph
The goal of this chapter is to support teachers in holistically introducing graduate students to literature reviews, with a particular focus on secondary research. It provides an o…
Making Software Development More Diverse and Inclusive: Key Themes, Challenges, and Future Directions
Sonja M. Hyrynsalmi, Sebastian Baltes, Chris Brown +7
Introduction: Digital products increasingly reshape industries, influencing human behavior and decision-making. However, the software development teams developing these systems oft…
A Penny a Function: Towards Cost Transparent Cloud Programming
